Event Coordinator Volunteer

Apartment Life is a faith‑based, non‑profit organization that has been serving the apartment industry since 2000. We believe every individual is created for community and that we are called to love our neighbor as ourselves. Our goal is to live this out while providing strong business value to apartment owners.

Events & Ministry Coordinators create an exceptional Apartment Life experience for residents and onsite staff within an apartment community. Coordinators are passionate about Apartment Life’s vision and mission and pair that passion with skill—planning consistently excellent, engaging events; communicating with care and clarity; and offering acts of genuine hospitality and support. Through these efforts, Coordinators help foster meaningful connections and positively impact the lives of residents.

We are seeking mission‑minded, highly relational, and responsible individuals who enjoy meeting new people, planning social activities, and helping others experience God’s unconditional love. This role provides a unique opportunity to practice business as ministry—faithfully weaving together professional excellence with loving neighbors well.

Important: This is NOT a salaried/hourly paid position. The position requires living on‑site at one of our apartment communities, together with a teammate of your choice. Hours are flexible. You will receive a significant RENT DISCOUNT. We are a non‑profit with a missional focus to transform lives in communities.
